Stomach cancer is the fifth most common cancer globally regardless of gender as reported by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) in 2018. There are many factors which cause stomach cancer such as unhealthy diet, smoking, obesity, alcohol, and Helicobacter pylori infection. According to the Cancer Research U.K. data of 2016, one out of three stomach cancer cases is related to Helicobacter pylori infection in the U.K. annually. Stomach cancer tests identify the stage of the cancer and the patient is treated accordingly. Targeted drug therapies are frequently used to treat stomach cancer as these drugs target the rapidly dividing cells and have less side effects. Drugs that target HER2 are under developmental studies to treat advanced stomach cancer. For instance, pertuzumab in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy is under phase 3 clinical trials to treat metastatic gastroesophageal junction or gastric cancer.
Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of stomach cancer worldwide is expected to boost the stomach cancer drugs market size. For instance, according to WCRF data of 2018, around one million cases of stomach cancer were diagnosed in 2018. Furthermore, increasing geriatric population is at a high risk of developing stomach cancer and men are more vulnerable to developing stomach cancer. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS) report in 2014, the average age of people diagnosed with stomach cancer is 68. As per the same source, six out of ten people diagnosed with stomach cancer annually are 65 or older, and stomach cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men.
However, the major challenge in the stomach cancer drugs market are the high expenses related to treatment of stomach cancer, which are not affordable to the middle to low income families in most countries. According to a data published in Oncotarget (impact journal) in 2017, the cost of stomach cancer drugs (considering Trastuzumab) can reach up to US$ 8,000 for four weeks and annually it can reach up to US$ 96,000.
